Details don't look as interesting as headline suggest. Snapchat doesn't throttle messages, so you can "snapchat bomb" a user with 1000's of messages/sec which will freeze up the phone.
Plus on his page where he describes the attack, he says it's already been patched. Is this the first vuln they've actually been able to fix?
